Definitions

  • This invention relates to a solid electrolyte suitable mainly for a lithium ion secondary battery and a lithium ion secondary battery comprising this solid electrolyte.
  • an electrolyte in which a micro-pored film called a separator is impregnated with non-aqueous electrolytic solution was generally used as an electrolyte for a lithium ion secondary battery.
  • a lithium ion secondary battery (polymer battery) employing a polymer electrolyte composed of a polymer has recently attracted more attention than a battery employing such electrolyte using an electrolytic solution.
  • This polymer battery uses a gel type electrolyte in which a polymer is impregnated with a liquid electrolytic solution. Since the electrolytic solution is held in the polymer, the battery has the advantage that there is little possibility of leakage of the liquid and safety of the battery thereby is improved and, moreover, the battery has an improved degree of freedom in the shape which the battery can assume.
  • this type of polymer electrolyte has a lower lithium ion conductivity than the electrolytic solution type electrolyte, it has been attempted to reduce the thickness of this polymer electrolyte. In case, however, the thickness of the polymer electrolyte is reduced, its mechanical strength is also reduced with the result that the polymer electrolyte is damaged during manufacture thereof and its positive electrode and negative electrode are short-circuited.
  • Japanese Patent Application Laid-open Publication No. Hei 6-140052 has proposed a solid electrolyte which is made by adding an inorganic oxide such as alumina to an electrolyte to improve its mechanical strength.
  • inorganic oxides include, in addition to alumina, silica and lithium aluminate.
  • Japanese Patent Application Laid-open Publication No. 2004-185862 proposes a lithium ion secondary battery made of a solid electrolyte in the form of a thin film comprising an ion conductive inorganic substance.
  • a slurry is prepared by dispersing lithium ion conductive inorganic substance powder together with a binder in a solvent, this slurry is coated directly on an electrode material of a positive electrode or a negative electrode, and then the solvent is dried and removed to provide a thin film solid electrolyte.
  • assembly of the battery involves a drying process which requires a relatively long period of time and this reduces efficiency in the manufacture of the battery.
  • EP 1424743 A discloses a thin film complex electrolyte of a polymer imparted with lithium ion conductivity by addition of glass ceramic powder and lithium salt. There is only one type of polymer.
  • US 6245458 B1 is directed to a composite electrode comprising a composition which contains sulfur, polyaniline and an organic sulfite compound.
  • a solid or semisolid polymer electrolyte can be added to the composite electrode and the polymer solid electrolyte is here made of ethylene oxide in which lithium salts such as LiClO 4 is dissolved.
  • a binder such as polyvinylidene fluoride, may be added to the composite electrode. In other words, polyvinylidene fluoride is added to the composite electrode merely as a binder which binds together fine particles of an organic sulfuric compound, polyaniline, sulfur and a solid electrolyte (i.e. polyethylene oxide in which lithium salt is dissolved).
  • EP 1049188 A2 discloses a complex electrolyte of a polymer in which lithium ion conductive glass ceramic powder is dispersed.
  • the lithium ion conductivity is derived mainly from the organic electrolyte solution with which the polymer is impregnated and, therefore, danger, raising from the organic electrolytic solution, cannot be eliminated.
  • EP 0838441 A2 discloses a lithium ion conductive glass ceramic but no discussion is made here about combination of this glass ceramic with one or even several polymers.
  • EP 1148563 A2 discloses improvement of ion conductivity in an electrode by mixing of ceramic particles of e.g. Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , ZrO 2 , MgO and Na 2 O in the electrode. Described is here an improvement in ion conductivity by virtue of ion dispersion capability by participation of porous surface of the ceramic particles.
  • an electrolytic solution cannot be impregnated in the positive and negative electrodes to enhance lithium ion conduction in the positive and negative electrodes as in the prior art lithium ion battery using the electrolytic solution. It is, therefore, another object of the invention to impart the positive and negative electrodes with excellent lithium ion conductivity without impregnating the positive and negative electrodes with an electrolytic solution.
  • lithium ion conductivity which is significantly higher than that of the prior art polymer electrolyte can be obtained in a solid electrolyte containing no electrolytic solution by forming an inorganic substance powder comprising a lithium ion conductive crystal of a specific composition, particularly a lithium ion conductive glass-ceramic powder of a specific composition, together with a lithium ion conductive organic polymer of a specific structure to the solid electrolyte in the form of a sheet.
  • the inventor has also found that, by providing a positive electrode and/or a negative electrode with the same inorganic substance and/or organic polymer, particularly the same glass-ceramic and/or organic polymer, improved output and capacity as well as an improved charging-discharging characteristic as compared with the prior art solid electrolyte type battery can be realized.
  • a "glass-ceramic” is a material made of an amorphous solid and a crystal which can be provided by causing a crystal phase to precipitate in a glass phase by heat treating a glass.
  • a glass-ceramic includes a material which is provided by phase transition of an entire glass phase to a crystal phase if there is substantially no pore between or in the crystal grain, i.e., degree of crystallinity is 100 mass %. Ceramics and sintered materials generally cannot avoid presence of pores and crystal grain boundary between and in crystal grains caused during the manufacturing process and, in this respect, ceramics and sintered materials can be distinguished from glass-ceramics.
  • ion conductivity of a ceramic or a sintered material is significantly lower than that of crystal grains contained therein because of existence of such pores and crystal grain boundary.
  • drop in ion conductivity between crystal grains can be prevented by controlling the crystallization process and ion conductivity of the glass-ceramic which is substantially equivalent to that of the crystal grains can thereby be maintained.
  • a glass-ceramic has an excellent ion conductivity as compared with general ceramics and sintered materials.
  • a lithium ion conductive glass-ceramic of a specific construction has a very high ion conductivity with its lithium ion transport number being 1 and moreover is a very stable solid electrolyte in the atmosphere.
  • the inorganic substance which constitutes the powder of the inorganic substance comprising the lithium ion conductive crystal is free of pores or a crystal grain boundary which impedes ion conduction.
  • pores or crystal grain boundary which impedes ion conduction means ion conduction impeding elements such as pores and a crystal grain boundary which reduce ion conductivity of the entire inorganic substance including a lithium ion conductive crystal to one tenth or below of ion conductivity of the lithium ion conductive crystal in the inorganic substance.
